What’s Bloor Street all about?
Whether you come to church once a week, once a year, or once a decade, you are welcome at Bloor Street! Part of the United Church of Canada, Bloor Street is a congregation of about 150 people. We are proud to be an Affirming congregation – publicly, intentionally, and explicitly welcoming of 2SLGBTQIA+ folks – since each one of us is seen as a child of God. Our church is located at Spadina and Bloor, near downtown Toronto and U of T. Our building is currently undergoing redevelopment, so for the next few years we are worshiping with our friends at St. Matt’s at 729 St. Clair Ave West. Our offices and mailing address is 165 Avenue Road, Unit 402, Toronto ON, M54 3S4.
You can expect a friendly and inclusive congregation, thoughtful and relevant preaching, enthusiastic congregational singing, and inspiring choral music that might range from a setting of a plainsong chant to an African American spiritual. You can view past sermons here, and learn more about the United Church of Canada here.
We try to provide an inspiring and visionary centre for worship where we can help each other to discover, develop and nurture our spirit and faith. To do this, our goals are to foster worship which is inspirational through empowering preaching, both traditional and innovative liturgy, music and the arts; worship that is participatory, inclusive and supports all elements of the congregation; and worship that reflects our commitment to a theology which is liberating.
What’s for Kids?
We are pleased to be offering a fuller faith formation program for children at St. Matthew’s and Bloor Street. Using curriculum provided by the GO Project, we offer a Church School program on Sunday mornings as well as a monthly Messy Church program on Friday nights. Learn more about our children’s programs here.
What’s for Youth?
Conversation group
Every month, teens and young adults from St. Matt’s and Bloor Street meet with Rev. Brigid-Maya to talk and ask questions about different topics: faith, prayer, Jesus, etc. We often watch a YouTube video to start off the conversation, and also do hands-on activities like making crepes.
